As much as I disagree with Kespa most of the time (fuck you kespa, bring back teamleague), I have to say this was a great move

Make a team that sells items on MMOs, when the biggest MMO game out there is WoW (aka Blizzard)

Blizzard 1: Hey did you hear? the Korean Team Stars got #1 in their team leagues!
Blizzard 2: Grats for them! Say, what does their company do? I've never heard of them...
Blizzard 1: Oh, they sell gold on WoW

I hope there is a good outcome from this, maybe Shinhan Bank can step in since they like the proscene so much and apparently it had benefited them in the past.

Hopefully a food company doesn't sponsor eSport because that wouldn't make sense. Oh, wait..

Hey it's a good argument you've made after reading this thread, good job on reading comprehension.

Oh wait.

Honestly, this was a good decision.

I don't blame kespa for not wanting to be associated with questionable businesses.

Of course it was a good decision by Kespa, why are you guys even arguing? Item-mania is illegal period. There is no mid-term on the word "illegal", illegal is illegal and Item-mania sponsoring a SC team is just as illegal as a drug dealer sponsoring a SC team.
Great people talk about ideas. Average people talk about things. Small people talk about other people.
